THE PIACERvILLE RAILROAD. = The
Single Springs Independent says: Thurs
day mornings train brought up sixty three
men to work on the railroad extension to
Placerville. Wednesday evening a special
train arrived with Mr.. Strobridge, Chief of
Construction, who looked over the grounds
and left on the regular train Thursday, in
company with Chief Engineer Hood. Work
commenced on the tunnel Thursday, with
Mr.. Fogarty, Superintendent of Tunnel
Construction. The tunnel will not exceed
325 feet and saves one and one-eighth
miles OF road. 1t is located southeast of
the old survey and runs through Wade's
ranch. Several carloads of provisions and
tools have arrived, and 600 cases of Jud-
sons powder. II is expected that force
of l,J00 o. 1000 men will be put to work
on the road soon, which will insure its
completion at an early date.

under the law when his case came up for
hearing, and was held to answer before the

were not mates, and Mr.. Reed produced
those that would mate with them in Court.

caught him in the act, having taken him
in charge as he was leaving the building
with the stolen property. Wilson has
heretofore served a year in the State Prison

Fish Commission Emnloyes, Paw.

T. J. Sherwood, Fish Commissioner, will
be in Sacramento to-day to pay employees
of the Commission the wages due. There
are five men employed on patrol boats,
four at the salmon hatchery and two at the
trout hatchery and distributing fish. all
receiving regular salary. Besides these
there are seventeen men working on COM
mission, or for one-third of the fines i'm
posed on violators CT the fish laws. The
latter are deputy Commissioners with
power of arrest. Since September 10th, the
date of the last meeting of the Board, fines
have been imposed and collected amount
ing to 81 ,596, one third of which goes to
the informer, one-third to the District At
torney of the county where the parties are
convicted and the balance to the Fish Com
mission fund. The close season for salmon
will end on Friday next, at midnight,
when that fish will become plentiful in the
market again. During this month, the
close season, the patrol have been kept on
watch night and day, and the law has been
generally observed. The work of the Com
mission has been generally satisfactory,
and less complaints than heretofore are re-
ceived, which indicates observance of the
laws

OLD WELLS AGAIN.

Old Madison Wells, of Louisiana re-
turning board infamy, comes to the front
again with a threat to tell what he knows
about the monstrous iniquity of 1876 that
made Ruthford B. Hays President. The
old man complains that he is in hard
luck, and that he never got his pay for
his share in the great crime. The sub
stance of his story is that he was prom
ised an Office for his share in the act that
counted Hays in, and, failing to get that,
was promised half the proceeds OF the
Office from the man who did get it. The
rascality Of that undertaking descended
to the lowest agents, and the thieves
who stole the Presidency proceeded to
defraud each other, so that old Wells,
having done what John Sherman, Zach
Chandler and the other conspirators re-
quired of him, was cheated out OF his
price. Now, in his old age, he threatens
to bring suit and open up all the infor-
nation in his possessions TO the courts.
1t is not likely that this lesser rascal in
gigantic scheme of villainy planned
and contrived by the leaders OF great
political party can tell anything now that
is not known. He might be able to sup
ply some unimportant details as to how
the theft of the presidency was carried
out, but the main facts in that monstrous
crime have long since been known to the
world and have gone upon record. That
the crime was accomplished is known
and by whom it was planned and carried
out is known. What the subordinate
rascals, the mere tools of the greater
villains did, or what they were to be
paid does not matter now. The affair
has passed into history and nothing that
can now Or can ever be revealed in re-
gard to it will either add to or take from
the odium that will forever attach to the
men who planned it and the party in
whose interest it was carried out

A WESTERN MAN.

Anent the Cleveland and Grady
ticket proposed by the New York Herald
for 1888, the Portland Meas caustically
remarks: "If the New York newspapers
think that The Western vote will cut no
figure in the next. election, there is no
easier way of dispelling the illusion than
by taking both Democratic nominees
from the Atlantic States.'' While we do
not go as far in this matter as the
NeUs evidently does, still we
think with it, that the second
place on the Democratic National
ticket should be filled by "a Western
man, whosoever leads it. Success is
certain in any nominational event, but
in common justice the ce-Presidency
should fall to the West. The time has
come when geographical political claims
can no longer be simply expressed in the
terms North or South There is a
West now, and it is West that impera-
lively demands recognition by its own
force and weight. Its claim to adminis-
trative representation is based upon nat
ural right, and will make itself needed.
Force is always self-assertive. The just
claims of the West will not be lightly
passed over in the next National Demo-
cratic Convention.

A NEW TEA PARTY.

A certain town in the East has inau-
gurated new o'clock tea. The tea is
for ladies only, and its prime object is for
conversation upon some subject which
was chosen at the last meeting, two
weeks previously. The conversation at
one meeting, from the time they sit down
to the table, until they depart, at s
o'clock, must all be upon this one sub
ject. The subjects vary widely, but are
mostly concerning questions of the day.
President Cleveland's Cabinet, the Irish
question, the Advancement of Cookery
within our remembrance, are samples of
their chosen topics. The hostess is
chairman OF the meeting, so far as it
needs any direction, and sort of moni-
tor is appointed, secretly, by the hostess,
who reports, at the next meeting, any
surreptitious remarks that may be sand
wiched in, such as inquiry about health,
help, etc. The circle consists of such a
number of ladies as may be seated, at
one time, around the tea table. The sup
per is limited one-one kind of meat,
bread and butter, pickles, cake, fruit and
tea. Most of this may be prepared the
day before, so that the hostess need not
be fatigued. No display of dishes or
flowers is encouraged, and even the most
able dispense with the changing OF plates
for second course. This certainly is a
move in the right direction What wo-
man, who has entertained largely, but
has felt at times that the worry was more
than the worth? Common sense in en-
tertaining will give us a greater supply of
this useful faculty in other things.

COMMENCED WELL.

The Commission appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland to investigate the accounts
of the Pacific railroad companies has got
down to work in good earnest. At its
first session, the Committee got the ad-
mission from Huntington that his COM
psny has paid from $4,000 to 100000 a
year to influence legislation at Washing
ton in the interest of his company. The
money was paid to the company's attor-
ney as an explanation fund.- to enable
the attorney to properly explain to
Congressman why the company's
schemes should be approved by them.
What became of the money, Mr. Hunt
ington never knew or desired to know,
but thought the transaction proper one.
The simple fact that $4,000 or
100000 were thus paid yearly and
no questions asked, has a slight tinge
at least of the Credit Mobiler in
iquity over again. 1t looks as though
the company finds it cheaper to
bribe Congress than to pay its debts.
Ex-Governor Patterson, Of Pennsylvania,
is chairman of the investigation commit
tee, which has SO soon demonstrated its
fitness for the great work m hand. The
fact of the committees selection by
President Cleveland gave abundant as
surance of special ftness-assuranc too

journal for the first quarter of the year 1886:
1.-The Chagres is torrent on the scale of
river, whish intersects the proposed bed
of the canal at twenty-nine points, and,
when swollen by rains, sometimes raising its
level thirty or forty feet in a day, discharges
upon the valley flood volume four times
that of the highest ever measured on the
Thames. The proposed remedy is to dam
it up in a lateral rayine. through which
1t leaps down at right angles to the
canal trench bv an embankment, whose
mass of 2O,0O0.00O cubic metres, with ba sc
of $50 meters, would measure nearly mile
in length and 1+8 feet high. This mighty
barrage will hold milliard cubic meters of
water suspended on the fanlzs of the noun
tain in colossal basin twenty miles in
length, which, if filled at the rate of cubic
meter minute since the Christian era,
would only begin to overflow in 1907
So far, out of total of $2O0,000,000 cubic
meters of material to be excayated mot
counting back wash), 37,727 900 had been
taken out up to last January, thus leaving
l62, 200 yet remaining. The amount ex-
pended is said to have been $50, 600 in
stock and $240 000, 900 in bonds.

THE PRIESTHOOD CIRCULAR.

The Priesthood Territorial Central |
Committee in April issued an address
and instructions in circular form to the 4
faithful Saints. 1t earnestly urges, and
in fact commands, all Mormons not in
actual polygamy to take the oath. 1t
says: Gas to the male voters of the
Peoples party, there is no provision
in the law which need necessarily
reduce their numbers" 1t is little
remarkable that the test oath is de-
nounced in almost exactly the same
terms as are used by considerable num-
Der of Gentiles who refuse to register,
because, ''it is repugnant to the spirit of
liberty and the genius of free govern
ment, which every citizen should cher
ish.'' While it is not surprising that
the leaders of the Mormon Church,
which would throttle all liberty
and free government and in TACT,
all governments not controlled by
itself, should advise" their followers
not to disfranchise themselves for such
reason, it is astonishing that professed
and really loyal citizens should assign the
same cause for refusing to lend their as
sistance in breaking a political power
which rendered necessary the re-
strictive legislation 10 which they
SO strenuously object. The circular
prescribes the questions that in
tended voters need ask themselves
prior to registration. Tney are as fol-
lows: Are we guilty of the crimes
named in said Act? or have we the pre-
sent intention of committing these
crimes, or Of aiding, abetting, counsel
ing Or advising any other person to COM
NIT them?" If these questions can be
answered in the negative the applicant,
says the circular, is justified in registering
and. voting. Where the priesthood
get their authority for interpolate-
ing the words, present intention"
is difficult to imagine, as the
oath distinctly obligates the affiant not
to commit any of the crimes forbidden in
the law, nor directly or indirectly aid or
abet, counsel or advise any other person
to commit them. The Interpretation of
the priesthood is too shallow to deceive
the most ignorant Scandinavian that
ever contributed his tenth pig to replenish
the stock in the tithing house meat
market. 1t is an evasion so manifest,
that the faithful might as well have been
instructed in so many words to take the
oath, with the mental reservation that its
restrictions should only be observed while
taking it, or for the next ten seconds, ten
hours or ten days thereafter. A copy Of
the ukase should be sent to every
member of the Senate and House. After
reading it no intelligent person can for
a moment doubt the impossibility of
devising any form of oath which would
not be swallowed by the Mormon people,
under the instruction of their leaders,
for the purpose of continuing for the
priesthood its political supremacy in the
Territory. We suggest that the Loyal
League have a few thousand copies
printed for distribution at Washington
next winter

from the east that the Boston & Albany

LANSDOWNE CORNERED.

Editor O'Brien of the United Ireland,
has opened his personal campaign
against Lord Lansdowne with vigor and
fearlessness. His eloquent denuncia-
tions of the course pursued by the Gov
ernor-General of Canada as an Irish
landlord, are ringing through the Domin-
ion, and will echo throughout the civ
ilized world. Lansdowne is placed in a
very bad corner. The Irish champion
has the Irish landlord in chancery. Turn
which way he will, terrible punish
ment is certain. He is on the
horns of dilemma, and very sharp
horns they are, too. To suppress or lis
ten to O'Brien is equally disastrous. Sup
preston of the Irish orator would be at
once construed into an Acknowledgement
of his charges, and besides, would be an
arbitrary exercise of power not to be toll
Grated by the Canadian people. On the
other hand, to allow the Irishman liberty
of person and speech will be to challenge
consequences personally CALLING and polit-
ically dangerous. The action already
taken by the Mayor of Toronto on behalf
of Lansdowne, in forbiding O'Brien to
speak in that city will be as futile as it is
absurd. If the Canadian people want to
hear O'Brien (and it has already been
demonstrated that they do no action Of
the civil authorities alone can prevent
them. The people will listen to what
O'Brien has to say unless they are forci.
bly, dispersed, and forcible dispersion
would be the exercise OF arbitrary power
The Irishman's real mission is in fact
even now practically accomplished.
Whatever happens, O'Brien's visit to
Canada will result in making Lord Lans-
downe's name odious forever.

''that it does not know the antecedents Of

Is continually going. on in the human
system. The demon of impure blood
strives to gain victory over the consti-
tuition, to ruin health, to drag victims to
the grave. A good, reliable medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the weapon with
which to defend ones self, drive the des-
perate enemy from the field, and restore
peace and. bodily health for many years.
Try this peculiar medicine.
